Oregon changed their law against self-serve gasoline, in at least some
circumstances, yes?  I believe New Jersey is the only state where
attendants are the only option.

    <p>I remember when the transition was taking place. There were
      stations that had one self pump island and an attendant pumped
      island at a higher cost. My observation is that mostly middle age
      and older women who likely didn&#39;t even know where you add fuel
      went to the attendant island and everyone else learned how to pump
      fuel in order to save 5 or 10 cents/gallon.</p>
    <p>Money in the pocket trumped service back then and I still think
      it will today.</p>
